| [DM] Muslim Unity Feverâ„¢ - Catch it! Islamist militant group Boko Haram has reportedly slain at least 33 wives of fighters in a bloody revenge attack as fighting between the rival groups continues to escalate. The massacre is thought to have been instigated earlier this week by top Boko Haram leader Ali Ngulde, who after ambushing a group of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) fighters in northeastern 's Sambisa forest sent his troops to a nearby camp to execute their wives. It comes after Boko Haram commander Malam Aboubakar and more than a dozen other militants were killed by ISWAP fighters following failed negotiations, according to , a security analyst based in Lake Chad. ISWAP fighters were once part of Boko Haram but splintered off and quickly grew into a formidable rival of the Islamic militants by enticing other Boko Haram members into defecting while drumming up support in local civilian populations. A Reuters investigation earlier this week also revealed that the Nigerian army has run a secret, systematic and illegal abortion program, terminating at least 10,000 pregnancies among women and girls who were kidnapped and raped by the Islamist militants. ISWAP was able to cultivate its strength by forging a favourable relationship with civilian populations around Lake Chad and northeastern Nigeria. The group treats local populations with more mercy and allows for them to develop businesses and trade while seeking to improve local services. Boko Haram meanwhile continues to live up to its ruthless reputation. Last month, the jihadists slaughtered at least 26 women by slitting their throats after a commander accused them of being witches who caused the sudden death of his children. The senseless massacre, which began on Thursday November 10 and continued on Saturday 12, came on the orders of Boko Haram commander Ali Guyile, according to relatives and a woman who escaped. Talkwe Linbe, one of the accused women, said she managed to escape and fled to the regional capital Maiduguri. 'He (Guyile) said he would investigate our involvement in the deaths of his children,' she said. 'On Thursday he ordered 14 among us to be slaughtered. I was lucky I was not among them.' On Saturday, the day Linbe arrived in Maiduguri, 12 more women were slaughtered accused of being witches, other relatives said, taking the death toll to 26. 'I received a call from Gwoza that my mother, two aunts and nine other women were slaughtered yesterday (Saturday) on the orders of Ali Guyile who accused them of being witches,' Abdullahi Gyya, who lives in Maiduguri, told AFP.
